Dear Valued Subscriber: Following are today's significant
developments in the U.S. futures markets.

*. LIVESTOCK: August live cattle closed down $1.20 at
$120.72 today. Prices hit a fresh seven-week high early on,
following a bullish USDA cattle report on Friday, and then
promptly reversed course to close solidly lower and near
the session low on profit taking from recent gains. No
chart damage occurred today. Bulls still have the slight
near-term technical advantage. A three-week-old uptrend
from the April low is still in place. The bulls' next
upside price breakout objective is to push and close prices
above solid technical resistance at $123.00. The next
downside technical breakout objective for the bears is
pushing and closing prices below solid technical support at
$118.00. First resistance is seen at $121.00 and then at

closed near the session low today amid weaker pork product
prices. Hog bears have the overall near-term technical
advantage at present. The next upside price breakout

a day—from 5 p.m. to 2 p.m. Chicago time, with a daily
price settlement time remaining at 1:15 p.m.) July corn
futures closed down 3 1/4 cents at $6.32 1/4 today. Prices
closed nearer the session low today after hitting a fresh
six-week high early on. A corrective pullback was seen
today following recent strong gains. Bulls some upside
technical momentum on their side. Traders are beginning to
talk about the dry weather over much of the U.S. Corn Belt.
Corn bulls' next upside price breakout objective is to push
and close prices above solid technical resistance at
today’s high of $6.44 1/2. The next downside price breakout

July soybeans closed up 8 3/4 cents at $14.13 1/2 a bushel
today. Prices closed near mid-range today. Recent strong
demand for U.S. soybeans on the world market and dry
weather in the Corn Belt are bullish for the bean market.
Bean bulls have the overall near-term technical advantage.

the soybean bulls is pushing and closing prices above solid

July bean oil closed up 67 points at 50.99 cents today.

short covering. While bean oil bears still have the overall
near-term technical advantage, my bias is that a market low
is in place, or close to it. Bean oil prices are still in a
six-week-old downtrend on the daily bar chart. The next
upside price breakout objective for the bean oil bulls is
pushing and closing prices above solid technical resistance
at last week’s high of 52.43 cents. Bean oil bears' next
downside technical price breakout objective is pushing and
closing prices below solid technical support at 50.00
cents. First resistance is seen at today’s high of 51.16

Wyckoff's Market Rating: 2.5

July Chicago SRW wheat closed up 9 cents at $7.04 1/4
today. Prices closed near mid-range today and hit a fresh
6.5-month high. Dry and hot weather in the U.S. plains and
dry weather in wheat regions in eastern Europe are bullish
for the wheat market, as is recent better export demand for
U.S. wheat. Wheat bulls have the near-term technical
advantage and still have decent upside near-term technical
momentum. Bulls’ next upside breakout objective is to push
and close Chicago SRW prices above solid technical
resistance at $7.25 a bushel. The next downside price
breakout objective for the wheat futures bears is pushing
and closing prices below solid technical support at $6.80.

*. METALS: June gold futures closed down $2.70 an ounce at
$1,589.30 today. Prices closed nearer the session low today

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage
any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It
is my goal to point out to you potential trading
opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when
and if you want to initiate any traders and (2) determine
the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I
discuss are hypothetical in nature.

Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%):
1. Trading commodity futures and options is not for
everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS.
Before you invest any money in futures or options
contracts, you should consider your financial experience,
goals and financial resources, and know how much you can
afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a
broker. You should understand commodity futures and options
contracts and your obligations in entering into those
contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and
other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk
disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.
